I learned something new about the Getty’s food services today, though. Apparently there are only two hot breakfast options, and that there’s a menu that’s used in house when ordering food for meetings and events. I’ve got to get my hands on that menu.
In addition to the hot items seen below, the Getty also laid out one of their fruit trays, which are arranged with such regular precision that I’m getting a little too used to eating from them. The one thing that’s ubiquitous at any Getty event is the presence of the standard Getty fruit tray. There were also bagels and orange juice, but no faux-clotted cream, which is probably for the best, since that’s a lactose intolerance H-bomb.
Above – Official Getty vegetarian frittata & salsa. Fearing the presence of my nemesis, dairy, I avoided the frittata. But that salsa was really excellent. A little more spicy than you’d expect at a museum. The salsa did make me hungry for the Getty’s excellent pozole, which I crave all the time, BTW.
Above – Official Getty sausage and potatoes. Both were pretty good. The potatoes were really the highlight, cooked just right and a little soft. The salsa was perfect on top of the potatoes. The sausage was OK. At first, based upon the shape of the sausage and the presence of salsa, I thought that the sausage might be Oaxacan or Salvadorian chorizo, but it turned out to be a pretty plain emulsified breakfast sausage. I thought it was a little to regular in texture to really be interesting, but it was worth ingesting.
